Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Redford, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tiki Barber, Owen Wilson, and Justin Timberlake tell you how they make a difference to the environment.

Inside The Green Book, find out how you can too:

- Don’t ask for ATM receipts. If everyone in the United States refused their receipts, it would save a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator fifteen times!

- Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. You’ll conserve up to five gallons of water per day. Throughout the entire United States, the daily savings could add up to more water than is consumed every day in all of New York City.

- Get a voice-mail service for your home phone. If all answering machines in U.S. homes were replaced by voice-mail services, the annual energy savings would total nearly two billion kilowatt hours. The resulting reduction in air pollution would be equivalent to removing 250,000 cars from the road for a year!

With wit and authority, authors Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas Kostigen provide hundreds of solutions for all areas of your life, pinpointing the smallest changes that have the biggest impact on the health of our precious planet.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Going green -
This book gives you "realistic" tips. Good guide to become a better planet friendly person.

Should be a Reading Requirement -
This book should be required reading for all Americans. In a practical non-preachy style, you'll be inspired to be greener! I was amazed at the simple things I can do to decrease my footprint, many without much of a sacrifice. The book is written in sections (such as beauty, home, shopping, travel, sports etc.)which provide simple steps to live more eco-friendly. Tons of interesting facts are presented. You'll be amazed at the types of things you shouldn't be using or doing. I already have my list of 5 things I can start doing today!

hated this book, unless you're a tree hugger, don't bother -
And no to say that it's bad being a tree hugger - it's not, but this in an impractical book for everyday living. For every suggestion (there are hundreds) it tells you "if everyone did this in America it would save blah blah blah". Some of these blah blah's are eye opening, but many of them caused my eyes to roll.

They suggest you buy shoes with recycled soles.....seriously. Where do you find shoes with recycled soles? Many many suggestions are repeated throughout the book. Just about every section recommends CFL's and to recycle anything recyclable, turn off lights and unplug items....over and over and over again.

As a matter of fact, go ahead and read the last few sentences, and you've read the book. I recommend Save Money, Save Energy. Much better.

Great book! -
Easy to read, especially if you don't have a lot of time, it's in sections for convenience!

Finally a great, and easy sustainable book to read -
Great book for understanding environmental issues and how to address them in a daily perspective. This is a mighty fine way to interpret the kind of footprint we all leave and how to minimize such. Very informative on issues we hardly think about, and yet pose a threat to the environment if not carefully managed. The book is worth every single dollar!
